About the MRU Source List

The most recently used (MRU) source list remains resident on the user s system. The setup functions internally handle the creation of new source lists and their location on the user s machine. The setup functions use this list to store information about source paths used in previous installations.

You can use this information when prompting the user for a source path. For example, you could create a drop-down list of the network connections used as source paths in previous installations.

Depending on your permissions, you can create a user list, one that is specific to a particular user, or a system list, one that is the same for all users. In addition to system and user source lists you can create a temporary source list that is discarded when the setup application exits.
